Can I vote for the name? Of all the clever and semi-clever names given to missions or their parts, I like CICLOPS the most :D. Not sure if I can be so decisive about a picture. :P I haven’t decided yet. Can I vote for the name?

I remember Saturn being one of the first objects I looked at out of my first telescope as a kid. (Embarrassingly, it was a Traschco, that eventually fell apart as I was using it.) Awesome pictures.
